baggage with Gerrard is he needs world class defensive midfield to support him

and now gets it with Sissoko and Alonso hanging back at liverpool

For England that is a problem as lampard is the same sort of player, and Beckham to an extent sometimes needs someone to clear up after him

Those 3 are the biggest question marks to how england could succeed in germany

If sven plays 442 with one defensive player holding the midfield, then England are in trouble

If England chose King and parker to hold the line, and sven had to rotate of chose 2 between beckham, cole, lampard and gerrard, then it could go right

It won't happen though, those 4 are too big for sven to sacrifice, and the midfield will be englands fatal flaw as usual when they play a team that can attack and retain the ball a lot

Have to see if Svens got it by germany or not
